Amanda Seales Really Wants People To Get A Passport Instead Of Buying Sneakers

Amanda Seales sent out a series of tweets early Monday morning that stirred up a heated discussion about race, economics and privilege. While traveling to Paris, the Insecure actress was waxing poetic about the joys of traveling abroad when she shared her opinion on priorities.

"If you're buying Jordans and Nike Suits but you don't have a passport, you're losing," she said. "If you're buying Jordans and Nike Suits but you don't have a credit card, you're losing."

If you're buying Jordans and Nike Suits but you don't have a PASSPORT, YOU'RE LOSING.

According to a Hostelworld Global Traveler Report report, almost 29 percent of American adults have never been abroad with 71 percent saying they couldn’t afford to leave the country. But the intrinsic intellectual, social, mental and even health benefits of seeing other places on the globe is undebatable.

So in a sense, Seales is right, but the delivery is harsh— and probably should consider access. Nonetheless, she shut down the conversation with a final tweet on the subject.

Now, since y'all wanna say I'm boughie, lemme head to this Eiffel Tower for dinner 💅🏾

"Now, since y'all wanna say I'm boughie, lemme head to this Eiffel Tower for dinner," adding, "Again, my overall point was that folks b flossin bullshit but ignoring real shit and there are no wins in that game."
